Consumer Opinion Institute vs SpeakUp Surveys

Backed by global market research company TNS, Consumer Opinion Institute has an extensive background in customer service and responds to any inquiries very quickly.

This could almost be considered a positive, but it can be extremely difficult to join Consumer Opinion Institute. Their clients demand very specific information from particular demographics, so you kind of have to be lucky if you happen to fall into one of the groups being accepted.

It should also be noted that no one is getting rich from this program as you'll generally receive only about three surveys per month. However, you will receive this consistently, so you can depend on the supplemental income.

Some users are turned off that Speak Up Surveys asks for a lot of info up front but there’s a reason for this. When you complete your profile honestly you’ll find you’ll begin to get much high paying surveys because they will be able to target your demographic for research and qualify more easily for surveys.

If you like straight cash for taking surveys Speak Up may not be for you. Right now there is no electronic processing system in place, so Amazon and prepaid cards will be your rewards.
